Semper Editing

Welcome to better writing!

I am a trained professional editor and writing coach. I specialize in swift,
efficient, and compassionate help for writers in trouble.

Whether you're looking for a guide to help you through your first novel, a
wordsmith to make your nonfiction book sing, an expert to tighten up your
academic writing, or just someone to fix your grammar, you've come to the
right place!

I have written and/or edited novels, short stories, screenplays, academic
papers, advertising copy, magazine articles, news stories, letters,
dissertations, application essays, case studies, grant proposals, and much
more. I work in MLA, APA, and AP styles, and I have extensive experience
helping English language learners.

Best of all, I offer a free consultation to every new client, to help you figure
out whether my services meet your needs. If I can't make your writing
better, you don't owe me a penny.

Some samples of my work . . .

AMBER is a talented musician who wants to teach, but she had to get
into graduate school first. I helped her rewrite her application essays, and
now she's on her way to a master's degree. Check out my work with Amber
here.

TIM is a gifted screenwriter with a great story, a natural ear for dialogue,
and no idea how to use an apostrophe. I did a fast copyedit on his
screenplay, and Warner Bros. bought it for six figures. Check out my
screenplay work here.

MARY is a student struggling with English, her second language. She
hired me to help her with her arguments and her grammar, and now she's
headed for grad school. Check out my ESL work here.

TAMMY has been writing stories since she was old enough to hold a pen,
and we're currently hard at work on her novel-in-progress. Check out some
of my deep content editing on Tammy's novel here.

I look forward to helping you!
